Contributions or gifts to the New York Victory Protection Fund are not tax deductible.

Contributions to the New York Victory Protection Fund will be allocated as follows:
The first $2,400 of each contribution from a person and the first $5,000 from a multicandidate committee will be allocated to the Scott Murphy Election Protection Fund, a project of Scott Murphy for Congress. The next $10,000 of each contribution from a person and the next $5,000 of each contribution from a multicandidate committee will be allocated to the New York State Democratic Committee Election Protection Fund, a project of the New York State Democratic Committee.

Any contributor may designate his or her contribution for a particular participant. The allocation formula above may change if any contributor makes a contribution that, when allocated, would exceed the amount that the contributor may lawfully give to any participant.

Contributions to the New York Victory Protection Fund do not count towards the 2009 election contribution limits of Scott Murphy for Congress or the 2009 annual limit of the New York State Democratic Committee. In addition, contributions do not count toward an individual's aggregate election cycle limit.
